Lady Sunshine doesn’t just tell stories—she connects legacy to funding.

Phyllis Utley empowers institutions and organizations to unlock resources hiding in plain sight—from ancestral burial grounds to overlooked grants, from land acknowledgments to student retention strategies.

As a Collaboration Consultant, she bridges history, healing, and high-impact strategy—helping communities and institutions move from fragmentation to focused, funded action.

Through every summit, workshop, keynote, and cross-sector initiative, she facilitates the collaborations that rebuild trust, restore dignity, and reallocate resources.

✔ Community-engaged grant strategies.
✔ Forgotten burial sites with historical value.
✔ Student success and retention solutions.
✔ Authentic land acknowledgments with accountability.
✔ Government-community trust building.

Phyllis shows that transformational funding doesn’t start with a form—it starts with connection.

She blends lived experience with legacy research, civic wisdom with cultural insight, equipping organizations to reclaim the narratives, assets, and access they never knew they had.

Because when you honor the past, you unlock the future.

And she’s here to help you fund both.
